The White Tree Sydney

Skills Required

The lifestyle of a creative can be bloody hard at times. Satisfying your soul with artistic and pleasurable projects, whilst generating an income that can afford new equipment, weekly rent, credit card bills and vital holidays to warm tropical islands, is a very real problem that most of us creatives have, or will experience, at some stage throughout our weird and wonderful careers.

We’re not going to lie…the above dilemma is what lead us in part to start our company, The White Tree.

What is The White Tree?

The White Tree is a group of like-minded photographers, filmmakers and musicians who have started a wedding based company that offers these three key creative services for “modern weddings”.

What do we mean by “modern weddings”, is that even a thing?!

We believe there is such a thing as a “modern wedding”. It basically defines an industry and a discerning bride and groom that now actually gives-a-shit about the creative elements of the BIG day. Yes yes, we are well aware of the stigma associated with weddings and we know that in terms of photography, you wouldn’t think that some of the best talent in these fields are now getting involved in the Australian wedding industry…but it’s quite true. If you don’t believe us, check out the likes of Hello May and Hitched magazine, the One Fine Day bridal fair and blogs such as Polka Dot Bride. You’ll quickly see that all sorts of providers in the industry are delivering impressive work with genuine artistic integrity.

Why does this sound like a pitch, and why are we trying to convince you that weddings are cool?

Well, we are setting our sights high and are looking for some of the very best photographers to join our crew. We are aware that the initial idea of shooting weddings seems like a step down from fashion, advertising and documentary photography. Obviously in some respects it is, but in other areas, it is actually incredibly challenging, rewarding, creative and lucrative.

What skill set are we looking for?

We are looking for Filmmakers who posses the following experiences and skills (practically and attitudinally):

Capable of working to tight deadlines

Are highly punctual, organized and can adhere to detailed workflows to ensure footage are backed up and never lost!!!

Are willing to take on board instruction from our creative director and clients regarding cinematography style.

Have a strong desire to shoot weddings (motivation is not a primary concern; for instance, if your main motivation is the $’s…then that’s ok!!). We are only interested in applicants who are willing to shoot a minimum of 15 weddings per year with us.

Respect that a wedding is an incredibly important day for not only the couple, but also their extended families and friends. As such the film work is something which is priceless.

Must own full frame camera and prime lenses and basic audio kit.

Excellent computer skills with proficient preferably FCPX or Premier.

Excellent communication skills and great with groups of people.

Be able to work effectively in a team and also on your own during the post-production phase.

Willingness to work on weekends as required.

Must own vehicle that is in good working order.

Ability to work under pressure and remain diplomatic when required.

An experience and love for utilising natural light.

Own website and current portfolio showing examples of your varied film work. Please note that wedding film examples are desirable, but not imperative.

And what are we offering?

Pay rates of $1,350 - $2,350 depending on the hours of coverage on the day and images delivered. We can give a more detailed breakdown on rates and requirements to interested applicants.

All administration handled by our awesome crew of booking managers (who are creatives themselves). This way you only need to worry about shooting and editing the work. Say good-bye to countless calls and emails from pesky brides and grooms…we’ll handle that for you.

The opportunity to join a great young crew of photographers, filmmakers and musicians.

Regular, yet flexible workloads.

Training and mentoring.

If you meet the above criteria, are passionate about people based documentary photography, like the look of The White Tree’s brand and style and have a keen attention to detail – then we’d love to hear from you!

Submit your application using the link below.

Please attach a cover letter and a link to your online portfolio/website.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the high volume of enquiries we receive from these ads, we will only be able to respond to successful applicants. Apologies in advance.
